Hour of Work: 37.5 per week (Monday to Friday)

Are you passionate about helping people to live a better life? Do you want to work for a charity where your health and wellbeing matter just as much as the people you support? Do you want to be part of a trauma-informed team where you will be supported to develop creative and flexible ways of working?


At LinkLiving, our values and people are at the heart of everything we do including how we recruit our staff.

It is important for us to find people who share our values, which are:

  • Empathy (listen to and understand an individual's needs and circumstances)
  • Respect (treat others the way they wish to be treated)
  • Integrity (be honest and have strong moral principles)
  • Caring (show kindness and concern for others)


LinkLiving is a Scottish health and wellbeing charity that supports people to manage or overcome the effects of negative life experiences (including trauma, mental health challenges, poverty and inequality) so that they can build on their strengths and aspirations in order to live their best possible lives.

We support people through a range of models including:

  • Personal development and employability programmes
  • Selfhelp coaching
  • Supported accommodation
  • Care at home
  • Housing support
  • Befriending
  • Social cafes

The Service
The Link Academy team works primarily with people with complex and chaotic backgrounds. The service works hard and creatively to maintain the early engagement of participants.

We support people by offering mental health and wellbeing programmes, independent living skills and a wide range of qualifications to support their progression including employability, tenancy, youth work and leadership award qualifications.


The Job


The purpose of the job is to support people to achieve their goals and aspirations through group work by providing opportunities to enhance their knowledge and skills.

You will be responsible for recruiting, training and supporting the programme participants. You will support the achievement of high standards and provide monitoring information in relation to the project's outcomes.


You will ensure that opportunities are provided to people equipping them with the skills to make a valuable contribution to the service and their wider community.

You will support people into a positive destination whether that be re-engagement with education, training or employment.

The Project Worker will provide support and offer guidance to programme participants, develop relationships with other agencies and services and actively promote LinkLiving's programmes and services.


About You


Guided by the Trauma Skilled Practice Framework (NES Framework), you understand trauma-informed care and make a difference in the lives of diverse individuals.

Your adaptability shines as you work with complex needs and backgrounds.

Proficient in the Microsoft Office suite, you streamline communication and leverage technology for efficient processes. Your knowledge of the employability sector and volunteering initiatives keeps you ahead, creating opportunities for success.

Your excellent communication skills captivate audiences and convey information effectively. You develop and deliver training programs, empowering others to reach their full potential.

You understand the importance of evaluation and use it to constantly improve training programs. With a non-judgmental attitude, you create an inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and fosters growth.

Adapting to new environments and embracing change, you drive innovation and navigate challenges. Your teamwork and organisational skills ensure efficient prioritisation and planning.

Building partnerships with voluntary organizations, employability networks, and statutory agencies amplifies our impact. With a valid driver's license, you will travel between services, connecting with individuals and making a tangible difference.
